Description of problem: The 1.9.0-2 version of the rubygem-kramdown RPM that was pushed to EPEL-7 yesterday (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1858415) is not compatible with the version of Ruby (2.0.0) in RHEL-7. Specifically, this line in the patch: define(:forbidden_inline_options, Object, %w[template], <<~EOF) do |val| uses a syntax (<<~) that did not exist in Ruby 2.0.0, which is the version shipped in RHEL-7. (If I read it correctly, that syntax appeared in Ruby 2.3.0.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.9.0-2.el7 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install kramdown gem from EPEL: # yum install rubygem-kramdown-1.9.0-2.el7 2. Try to load kramdown: $ irb irb(main):001:0> require 'kramdown' This causes a syntax error to be raised: SyntaxError: /usr/share/gems/gems/kramdown-1.9.0/lib/kramdown/options.rb:596: syntax error, unexpected <<, expecting ')' ...tions, Object, %w[template], <<~EOF) do |val| ... ^ Additional info: The quick fix is to just change "<<~" to "<<" in the patch. Bonus is to also dedent the documentation text so it starts in column 0. Workaround: For people who have applications failing due to the broken version the quick-and-dirty workaround is to edit the file /usr/share/gems/gems/kramdown-1.9.0/lib/kramdown/options.rb and change "<<~" to "<<" on line 596.
Well, so I don't want to push updates for EPEL.... actually I've never maintained any packages for EPEL, but because somehow it was assigned to me, I've pushed 1.9.0-2 update. Now I've orphaned rubygem-kramdown for EPEL. I hope that someone can take care of this package on EPEL.
So as expected, no one will be going to maintain this. For now I am going to apply the suggested fix to close this.
